Spiral Point Taps

Spiral Point Taps look similar to standard hand taps at first glance. However, spiral point taps have an angled cutting face that forces material chips out ahead of the cut. Spiral point taps have a shallower flut passage, giving them more cross-sectional area. This means greater strength, higher tapping speeds, and less power necessary to drive them. High Speed Steel Machine screw. Precision ground cutting surfaces for precise thread production. Spiral points prevent thread damage by forcing chips ahead of the cutting action, reducing chip loading in the flutes. Commonly used for through holes.
